NAT settings on RBR750
Hello Experts,
Please help me to setup my RBR 750 router NAT to open. My PS5 and Nintendo switch connection shows moderate. Router is connected to gateway. From gateway end the NAT is open. Confirmed by connecting the gateway to PS4 directly and shows NAT open. There is no double NAT. This need to change in Orbi Router.

If you have a router/ gateway at the ISP modem or ONT and you put the RBR in router mode connected to the gateway, then this will be double NAT condition.
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.

Try option #2 first...Most you'll ever see from Sony PS is NAT type 2 behind a gateway ISP router system. Type 1 can be achieved if connected to a ISP modem or ONT with out any built in router.
